Short answer

Company secretarial work keeps the public register accurate: the confirmation statement, officer and address changes, share transfers and statutory registers. We file confirmation statements from £50 plus VAT excluding the Companies House fee, usually the same working day.

What the confirmation statement is

It confirms that the information Companies House holds about your company is correct: officers, registered office, shareholders, share capital, people with significant control and the standard industrial classification. It is a check, not an account, and it is due at least once every twelve months even if nothing has changed.

Filing it late is not a fixed penalty like late accounts, but a persistently unfiled statement is grounds for the registrar to strike the company off.

What else sits in company secretarial work

Appointing and resigning directors, changing the registered office or service address, issuing and transferring shares, maintaining the statutory registers including the PSC register, board and shareholder resolutions, and keeping identity verification current for everyone who needs it.

Why overseas-owned companies outsource it

The deadlines are small, frequent and easy to miss from another time zone, and the consequences land on the public register where customers and banks can see them. A fixed annual arrangement removes the diary risk and means one firm holds the whole record.

Pricing

Confirmation statements from £50 plus VAT, excluding the Companies House fee, filed the same working day. Officer and address changes are included for clients on a monthly package. One-off secretarial work is quoted in writing before it starts.
